SAXTON, Mark

SAXTON, Mark
(1914-1988)
   US writer who, as an editor at Farrar \& Rinehart, helped Austin Tappan WRIGHT's daughter, Sylvia Wright, edit the massive manuscript of Islandia, which his firm published in 1942. MS himself produced some detective fiction, but his sf was confined to the Islandia world, for which he wrote 3 novels in continuation of Wright's original: The Islar: A Narrative of Lang III (1969), narrated by the grandson ofWright's John Lang, The Two Kingdoms: A Novel of Islandia (1979) and Havoc in Islandia (1982). The UTOPIAN glow of the original did not survive unaltered, but MS's work was both competent and devoted.
